Hi, I have incorporated the GPL-licensed QScintilla2 [1] PyQt text editor widget into my QGIS app stack to accomplish a plugin I am almost ready to release[2]. Adding support for QScintilla2 on Ubuntu was as simple as apt-get of libqscintilla2 and python-qscintilla2. On the Mac, It requires adjustment of the CMake build steps and bundling of the PyQt Qsci.so and libqscintilla2.8.dylib into the resultant .app (which I have done, as I built and tested the plugin on a Mac). Not sure what to do on Windows, as I don't develop on that platform.
What would it entail to get the QScintilla2 PyQt module added to QGIS distributions? I can submit my build notes for Mac OS X adjustments as a pull request for review. What about the other distributions? My opinion is that releasing QGIS with the pre-built addition of this PyQt editor widget (~1 MB compressed) for use by developers, to add embedded text editors, would be very beneficial.
